"This book may well fill the gap for a Great American (Graphic) Novel about guns in our culture."
A graphic novel aimed to help heal our polarized divide.
Should We Buy A Gun? unites a provocative, heartfelt story with simple, enchanting art.
Maggie & Adam are newlyweds building a life in Austin, TX. He's a NYC transplant and school counselor. She's a native Texan and NPR journalist. The like-minded pair are eager to try to start a family.
But everything changes after a mugging. They're shocked to find they have opposing views on guns. Whether to buy one, try for a family, or even stay together is now in question.
11 years in the making, authored by someone politically left and illustrated by someone politically right, this graphic novel doesn't claim to have the answers, it only asks that we stay open-minded.
